We’ve all heard the stereotypes—passed on through jokes or gritted teeth—about the different generations. “Baby boomers are stuck in their ways and reinforce hierarchy.” “Gen Xers are off on their own playing a video game.” “Millennials think they should have it all but don’t want to work for it.” “Gen Z thinks the world exists on a smartphone screen.”

Are these stereotypes helpful? Of course not. And the year we’re born is only one of countless factors that shape who we are. Yet our age and everything that comes with it—world events, cultural trends, and technologies, to name a few—influence how we’re raised and see the world. And we bring all of that to our work.

We chose to write about the topic of intergenerational teams because we think about it and talk about it a lot. The CAPC team, like many health care teams, ranges in age from colleagues in their twenties to those in their seventies. To be effective, we need to leverage that age diversity for its strength while creating an environment that can accommodate the different styles and expectations of the group.

New Publication: The Case for Palliative Care in Kidney Care
Download: https://www.capc.org/documents/1239/

Despite facing high rates of distressing symptoms—including fatigue, pruritus, and pain—people living with advanced kidney disease are far less likely than those with cancer to receive appropriate pain and symptom management. And fewer than 10% of older adults receiving dialysis report having had conversations about their goals of care.

The Case for Palliative Care in Kidney Care, a new publication from CAPC and the National Kidney Foundation (NKF), emphasizes the critical need to integrate palliative care services into the treatment of patients with advanced kidney disease. CAPC and NKF call on nephrology practices, dialysis centers, and health systems to strengthen their palliative care capabilities through clinician training, collaboration with specialty teams, and systemic changes that prioritize patient-centered outcomes—and offer resources to help meet this goal.

: Pain is more than a physical sensation. , the International Association for the Study of Pain defines pain as “an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with, or resembling that associated with, actual or potential tissue damage.” This definition highlights two important points: first, pain is sensory and emotional; second, pain can be experienced in the absence of an identifiable pathology.
